Dual PCB Green Laser Engine Layout

A scan engine for capturing at least one image of an object appearing in an imaging field of view (FOV), comprising:

• a chassis including a chassis body defining at least one confined volume, the chassis body including a chassis mounting portion;
• a first board having a first side and a second side, the first side being operably coupled with the chassis, the first board including a first board connector disposed on the second side thereof;
• a second board having a first side and a second side, the second board including a second board connector disposed on the first side thereof adapted to electrically couple with the first board connector of the first board;
• an imaging assembly including an imaging sensor adapted to capture the at least one image of the object appearing in the imaging FOV, the imaging assembly being at least partially disposed within the at least one confined volume of the chassis body, the imaging sensor being electrically coupled with the first board;
• and
• an aiming assembly adapted to generate an aiming pattern to assist with identifying the FOV, the aiming assembly including a laser diode extending along a longitudinal axis in a first direction and being at least partially disposed within the at least one confined volume of the chassis body, the laser diode being electrically coupled with the second board.

A scan engine for capturing at least one image of an object appearing in an imaging field of view (FOV), comprising:

• a chassis including a chassis body defining at least one confined volume, the chassis body including a chassis mounting portion;
• a second board including a second board connector adapted to be alternatively connected with:
• 1) a first primary board having a first imaging sensor coupled therewith;
• and 2) a second primary board having a second imaging sensor coupled therewith, the first imaging sensor having a different configuration than the second imaging sensor.

A scan engine for capturing at least one image of an object appearing in an imaging field of view (FOV), comprising:

• a chassis including a chassis body defining at least one confined volume, the chassis body including a chassis mounting portion;
• a first board coupled with the chassis at the chassis mounting portion, the first board including an imaging system at least partially disposed within the chassis body and coupled with the first board, the imaging system adapted to capture at least one image of an object appearing in the FOV of the device, the first circuit board being alternatively couplable with:
• a first secondary board having a first laser diode and first laser drive circuit electrically coupled therewith, the first laser diode outputting a first wavelength of light, and
• a second secondary board having a second laser diode and second laser drive circuit electrically coupled therewith, the second laser diode outputting a second wavelength of light.
